What went wrong

The lesson

Check device datapoints against real documentation before letting an AI configure them on live hardware.

The full story

The poster tried to integrate an AquaSilence heat pump from Aquark into Home Assistant through Local Tuya, with Claude AI's help. He says it "messed up the Heatpump functionality", and guesses the wrong datapoints were used when setting it up.

The pump now seems locked: at start-up the display shows odd values, and when switched on it shows the right water temperature but turns off after two seconds. He posted asking others for the correct datapoints.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.

Privacy. No accounts. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) only if you accept them; no ads or cross-site tracking. Searches are counted anonymously (just the words) to show what's popular, and so are clicks on Ask Claude (just the count). The Claude connector only receives the search words your Claude sends it.
